Lyrics
Verse 1
You're kind and so forgiving
You make life worth living
You are what my heart beats for
Your grace is overwhelming
I love it when You tell me
Else what I'm created for
Chorus
'Cause I am made for love
So I am made for You
And nothing else compares
And nothing else will do
'Cause I am made for love
So I am made for You
And nothing else compares
And nothing else will do
Verse 2
You're true and always faithful
And I'm forever grateful
For this life You've given me
'Cause You've lavished me with Your grace
And set me in a new place
So that I can finally see
Chorus
That I am made for love
So I am made for You
And nothing else compares
And nothing else will do
'Cause I am made for love
So I am made for You
And nothing else compares
And nothing else will do
Bridge
So here I am
Come take over me
Till all they see is You in me
So here I am
Come take over me
Til all they see is Christ in me, yeah-oh
Chorus
'Cause I am made for love
So I am made for You
And nothing else compares
And nothing else will do
'Cause I am made for love
So I am made for You
And nothing else compares
And nothing else will do

So stir up, come awaken love in me

Come awaken love in my heart, my heart
Oh, stir up, come awaken love in me
Come awaken love in me

Meaning & Inspiration
I Was Made For Loving You is a song about being created for love for God. The first verse describes Him as kind, forgiving and overwhelming in grace, the one the heart beats for, who tells the singer what they were created for. The chorus declares being made for love and so for Him, with nothing else comparing or doing.
The second verse thanks Him for faithfulness and a new life lavished with grace, and the bridge asks Him to take over until others see only Christ in the singer, with a closing prayer to stir up and awaken love in the heart. The themes fit Matthew 22:37-38 on loving God, Ephesians 2:4-10 on being made new by grace, Galatians 2:20 on Christ living in believers, and 1 John 4:19. The repeated prayer to awaken love makes the song a quiet, devotional response.
